That doesn't change my point. I mentioned "Bloom and Wake" enough times in a post about one of their drivers for it to be number three in a Google search after the company did nothing about a legitimate complaint about the incidents.

Leaving the "Road Rage" out of it as it was an argument rather than an incitement. He was lucky to have only got a Public Order slap on the wrist considering he deliberately or not hit a cyclist and left the scene. Careless driving or dangerous driving; hit and run. Going after his business via antisocial media is unfair to the rest of the people he employs.

...what an absolute nosher.
Whilst I agree in part given how he reacted, what the YouTube video doesn't show is what the cyclist did previously; generally people don't react like a crazy for no reason. I'd guess that the cyclist was a massive cock socket at some point before the clip begins.

I'd still eat at his restaurant - especially given the reviews looked decent before weirdos started posting 1* reviews.

According to the internetz, the cyclist started braying on the side of his car as he went past and that's what kicked it all off.

He is wearing an unusually tight leather jacket - is he an aging popstar we don't recognise? It could explain why he's so angry.

The director of this http://youtu.be/hgCqz3l33kU is called sausage. Maybe it's him.

anyone I overtake on dual or mway whilst I am towing a caravan. Your going too slowly. FFS if caravan can overtake you.

Towing a caravan and still Being able to pull away at lights in lane 1 faster then the car in lane 2.

Anyone who still calls lane 2 or 3 fast lanes or overtaking lanes......
I think you may have lost the plot a bit on that last one!!

People are supposed to stay left and only move right into lane 2, or 3, to overtake - hence overtaking lanes. More so, the extreme right hand one.


If you think different, I think you need to explain? as this isn't America, the land of the moving slalom.

When you dig deeper, there really is no such thing as a 'random' road rage incident.

People don't suddenly 'snap' and turn nasty after many years of event-free driving, if somebody makes a 'significant/dangerous' driving mistake and admits/apologises for it.

People who do make 'significant/dangerous' driving mistakes, but DONT'T get all aggressive to somebody who beeps them - have probably never seen a road rage incident.

Who knows? But it doesn't justify the aggression shown by the driver in any case, and using a vehicle to force someone over is far worse than anything you can do on a bike.

I always pick lane 2. I seem to find driving at a constant 54mph gives me better fuel economy and I don't like overtaking, it's just to much hassle having to use my mirrors and indicators. The only problem I have is leaving the motorway, there is always some smart arse thinking its a good to under take me, it's a real pain having to check over my shoulder for these bad drivers.

This is a couple of weeks old but it doesn't make much difference.
Going to work one morning I pulled out of the T-Junction to leave the road I lived on turning left, the road was clear when I pulled out, within no time at all I have some nobber in an Astra van come flying around the corner 100 yards further back and plant himself on my rear end.
He stays there, with the odd jink to the right to look to overtake for a mile or so, generally being a bit of an aggressive tt.
We get to some traffic lights, I turn right and he moves out of the right turn lane and goes flying straight across nearly clipping the kerb.
At this point I know exactly what he's up to, he's taking an alternative, longer route with the hope of getting in front of me further down the main road.
A couple of miles later he joins the main road behind me and the car behind me. I must admit I enjoyed seeing him again in my rear view mirror. He behaved himself after that.
The icing on the cake though was that I moved house at the end of that week and said nobber is my new neighbor.

In my mind, someone who hogs lane 2 because they find basic acts of driving like checking your mirrors and using indicators shouldn't be driving....

Sit on a bus or train and you won't have to do any of them.
